Outlook Main markets for NW products in Central Europe to remain weak during the spring Efforts to open new NW markets continue. New markets expected to increase net sales in the last quarter of 2006 Partial subcontracting of pole and floorball products to the far East will improve Sport Division’s profitability towards the end of the year. One- off costs EUR 2 million, yearly profit improvement EUR 2 million Pacific Composites will significantly increase net sales for the Industry Division. The acquisition strengthens and speed up the growth of business operations in Far East markets. Lack of supply of carbon fibre will continue in 2006 limiting growth opportunities Group net sales expected to increase significantly. Due to major restructuring of sports production and the acquisition of Pacific Composites, the profit will be influenced by a number of major non- recurring items, meaning that the profit before taxes is expected to be slightly lower than 2005.
